Wenham predicts 'Exciting' Tottenham gem to battle big-name star for starting role next season

John Wenham believes Mikey Moore will be pushing Son Heung-min for a first-team place at Tottenham next year.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose has been delighted with the 17-year-old’s “fantastic” progress this season.

Moore has made five appearances for Spurs’ first-team during the 2024/25 campaign, including one start.

And Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – feels as though the club are getting him ready for a permanent first-team role next season.

“Moore already has a full 90 minutes under his belt in the UEFA Europa League this season,” Wenham said.

“Tottenham have played 10 games and Moore has featured in half of those. He has made fantastic progress.

“You can see that the club are earmarking him for a permanent first-team role next season. I suspect he will be battling it out with Son to be the starting left-winger next year.

“That is exciting to see. We would have a homegrown, club-trained player of Moore’s quality, who is just 18 years old, starting regularly next season. I think we can see that is what is going to happen.”

Moore has burst onto the scene in North London. However, despite the excitement around him, fans must remember he is still only 17.

Therefore, minutes might still be hard to come by this season, particularly after a recent injury update (via Paul O Keefe, 10 October).

However, if he continues to feature with the first team this season, no matter how sparingly, that experience will prove invaluable.

As a result, by the time next season comes around, Moore will be a much more well-rounded player and could be ready to push for a permanent first-team spot, as Wenham has suggested.
